The human cathelicidin, hCAP-18, is expressed both in neutrophils and in epithelial cells. hCAP-18 is processed to the antimicrobial peptide LL-37 by proteinase 3 in neutrophils. hCAP-18 is highly expressed in the epididymis with a subsequent high concentration in seminal plasma where the protein is present in its unprocessed and antimicrobially inactive form. We report here that hCAP-18 in semina

Aims: Utilization of cheap and readily available agricultural residues as cheap carbon sources for poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) (PHB) production by Halomonas boliviensis. Methods and results: Wheat bran was hydrolysed by a crude enzyme preparation from Aspergillus oryzae NM1 to provide a mixture of reducing sugars composed mainly of glucose, mannose, xylose and arabinose. Growth of H. boliviensis using

We monitored the development of intraradical and extraradical mycelia of the arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi Scutellospora calospora and Glomus intraradices when colonizing Plantago lanceolata. The occurrence of arbuscules (branched hyphal structures) and vesicles (lipid storage organs) was compared with the amounts of signature fatty acids. The fatty acid 16:1omega5 was used as a signature for

Background In the US cotton industry, airborne cotton dust levels are regulated, and other countries are moving to specify safety limits for airborne endotoxins. There is concern about potential respiratory health hazards associated with agricultural and otherorganic dusts. In laboratories, ranking which samples have high and low levels of endotoxin is usually in good agreement between laboratorie

Courses and individual undertakings corresponding to 60 credits should complement the research project (180 credits) in educating and examination towards the outcomes for a doctoral degree as stated in the Higher Education Ordinance. These courses can serve to give knowledge and skills required for the research project (methods courses), to bring broader and deeper knowledge in the research area,

The Palgrave Handbook of Political Norms in Southeast Asia came out Open Access in June 2024. This event will bring together four of the contributing authors, as well as two of the editors. The handbook aims to constitute a reference point on political norm dynamics in Southeast Asia, by bringing together the array of normative repertoires that frame the possibilities for citizens to participate i

Anatase TiO2 is recognized as a promising negative electrode material when employing “water-in-salt” electrolytes in high voltage aqueous lithium-ion batteries. However, the catalytic property of water splitting aggravates the hydrogen evolution reaction, which hinders the formation of a stable solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) on the electrode surface and therefore results in poor cycling perfor

Introduction: Extrauterine pregnancy (EP), represents a significant challenge in reproductive medicine, manifesting in approximately 2% of all pregnancies, primarily implanting within the fallopian tubes (95%). Surgery remains a cornerstone in the therapeutic options for ectopic pregnancies. The most common surgical approach at the moment is laparoscopy. However a relatively new surgical technique

Scholte wave surveys were conducted at both the laboratory and field scales to evaluate the reliability of distributed acoustic sensing (DAS) with a fiber-optic cable resting on top of unconsolidated sedimentary deposits to determine the distribution of S-wave velocity underneath. Laboratory measurements performed in a controlled environment at the Deltares Laboratory facility demonstrated that DA

As we become increasingly conscious of the entangled nature of human existence, we need to become more attuned to the needs of other species, and things on this planet we are bound to. This presents us with an opportunity to rethink in whose interest we approach architectural design, and to bring vital voices into the process that have – until now – been unable to make themselves heard. We conduct

BACKGROUND In the United States, Black men are at highest risk for being diagnosed with and dying from prostate cancer. Given this disparity, we examined relevant data to establish clinical prostate-specific antigen (PSA) screening guidelines for Black men in the United States. METHODS A comprehensive literature search identified 1848 unique publications for screening. Of those screened, 287 studi

In times of escalating global environmental crises and subsequent troubling emotional experiences, it is imperative to understand the psychological mechanisms through which people cope. Although it is increasingly recommended to talk about global environmental change and the emotions it evokes as a way of coping with its overwhelming and existential nature, private-sphere conversations about clima

Employing the Foucauldian term ‘conduct’, this article explores how social resilience and morale became a target of state intervention in Denmark during the Cold War. ‘Psychological defence’ was a Cold War phenomenon designed to bring an imagined future war into a space of control as well as a tool for the authorities’ exercise of power in case another world war became a reality.

To understand, predict and mitigate climate change, it is crucial to have long-term and standardised measurements of greenhouse gas concentrations in the atmosphere and their fluxes between atmosphere, land and oceans. The Integrated Carbon Observation System, is a distributed European Research Infrastructure which provides high-precision and highly standardised observations from more than 170 sta

Using only linearly polarized light, we study the possibility of generating spin-polarized photoelectrons from xenon atoms. No net spin polarization is possible, since the xenon ground state is spinless, but when the photoelectrons are measured in coincidence with the residual ion, spin polarization emerges. Furthermore, we show that ultrafast dynamics of the recolliding photoelectrons contribute
